On the fringe of Waikoloa Beach Resort’s world class golf course, this fully furnished two bedroom, two bath condo is designed for easy, light-filled living. Tiled flooring, plantation shutters, elevated ceilings, and oversized glass slider doors bring in abundant natural light, while a large wraparound lanai frames mountain views and a lush tropical landscape for a peaceful, private feel. The kitchen includes fairly new stainless-steel appliances, with newly purchased quartz countertops for the kitchen and baths (not installed), and both the primary and guest baths offer space to reimagine your own design. Thoughtful upgrades range from a new washer/dryer and new ceiling fans to an Ecobee thermostat, plentiful storage, and new flatscreen TVs throughout. Vista Waikoloa residents enjoy a heated salt-water pool, two spas, a covered pavilion with six gas grills, a private fitness room, and a 24-hour business center.

In the heart of Honoka‘a town, this well-designed 2017 home pairs an in-town address with ocean views that greet you on arrival. All living spaces are arranged on the second floor, where an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area creates a bright, easygoing setting for daily life and entertaining. An upper lanai extends the experience outdoors, inviting comfortable indoor-outdoor living with the ocean as a constant backdrop. The main living area includes three bedrooms and one bathroom, plus a separate fourth bedroom with an attached full bath on the same level—set apart from the interior of the main home for visiting guests, extended family, or potential rental use. Downstairs, an expansive covered area offers flexible space for entertaining, a workshop or artist studio, storage, or future conversion. Solid circular concrete posts and ample parking add lasting practicality.

Hardwood hickory flooring runs underfoot, with tile in the kitchen and baths, and a central vacuum system supports simple upkeep. The primary suite occupies the entire second floor, enjoying open views down to the living space and out to the ocean, with its own bath for convenience. A separate living area with a private lanai and bath offers flexibility for family or friends. Outside, a spacious lanai, paved driveway, brand-new stick-built shed with French doors, and a generous garage with a long workbench invite unhurried projects and outdoor time.

Set in the highly sought-after Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision, the large, custom-built home is designed to keep that connection present indoors as well. Peek-a-boo ocean views from the second and third bedrooms add a quiet sense of horizon, while ocean sounds and steady tradewinds move through the home and shape the atmosphere from morning to night. The setting invites an easy rhythm: open windows, salt air, and the kind of coastal calm that makes even ordinary days feel intentionally slowed.

On Nani Kailua in The Pines II, this remodeled residence is designed for easy Kona living, with thoughtful upgrades that prioritize comfort and efficiency.
